WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND NCSC
NCSC24 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Her AI inventions have launched a dozen companies and nonprofits with a focus on human potential: education, workforce, and health.
A self-described “professional mad scientist”, Vivienne founded The Human Trust to fight some of the world’s most pressing problems, and she travels the world sharing the stories of these astonishing projects. In her free time, Vivienne works to design AI systems to help treat her son’s diabetes, predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers, and reunite orphan refugees with extended family members.
She sits on the boards of numerous companies and nonprofits, including UC Berkeley’s Neurotech Collider Hub and RFK Human Rights. For relaxation, she writes science fiction and hikes with her wife and children.

As attendees of NCSC24, your visit to Boston extends beyond the halls of this national education conference and into a city pulsating with historical charm and cutting-edge innovation. Start your journey by immersing yourself in the rich history of the American Revolution along the famed Freedom Trail. Wander through cobblestone streets, and stand where patriots once stood at iconic sites like the Massachusetts State House and Paul Revere’s House. For a taste of classic Boston, catch a baseball game at the historic Fenway Park, where the cheers of Red Sox fans echo through the nation’s oldest baseball stadium.
Boston’s cultural tapestry is showcased brilliantly at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. These institutions house world-class art collections that span centuries and continents, offering a unique blend of traditional and contemporary masterpieces. Explore Copley Square‘s architectural marvels, dine in the North End for delectable Italian cuisine, or take a scenic harbor cruise. Boston invites you to unlock its secrets, blending the old and the new in a city where every corner tells a story.

We are excited to welcome to Boston, a city known for its rich history and vibrant culture. As part of NCSC24, we have reserved a room block at several hotels close to the BCEC, where conference keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and our exhibitor hall will be located.
We are not using any housing services for the conference. The only way to book a room in our block is by using the links or phone numbers provided above. If you receive a call or email from a company claiming to be the “official” housing service for our conference, do not engage with them. This is a common scam that targets conferences across the country.
